Cat Update

[sharpeslass]

Lirin was very stuffy and sneezy last night and this a.m. She is still eating and playing however. She is not a lap cat as much as a neck cat. She gets on my chest or shoulder while I'm watching t.v. or reading and wodges herself under my chin. It is like having a fluffy, warm, fur stole wrapped around my throat. One that purrs. And sneezes

A vehement amen to all that skyrat13 said! I was rather badly shaken by the seemingly ruthless and cavalier attitude the rescue woman I have worked with twice now has about cats having to be put down (one time she helped me get the feral I was fostering safely to my friend and the second time was with a lost older sick cat - sadly,that one looked like the outcome was not going to be so happy.) She dealt with SO many homeless cats, and to her, if they were sick and no one wanted them, better a quick painfree end than to starve on the streets,and risk making other cats sick as well, if they were part of a colony. It was heartbreaking to me,but to her it was just a necessary evil for the greater good.

So,yes, I'd be willing to bet you saved your little one's life by not returning her to the shelter. But I'd be willing to bet you could have hacked off your own leg with a dull spork before you could have taken her back anyway -- it's amazing how fast the little furballs worm their way so completely into our hearts!!
